An Empty Space by Bob Eschenbrenner listen time stopped and history it awoke on that September day in the ash and the smoke before and after a date torn from time on Liberty and Church at the scene of the crime there's an empty space in the skyline and no words to be found there's an empty space too big to fill when they fell fell to the ground and I'm in the crosswalk listening to the thunder crashing down there's an empty space in the skyline and no words to be found no words to be found in this city of dreams hope still fights for its share when I see his face on a poster at the corner of Union Square and I'm listening to what's missing it follows me around and I see the smoke still rising from the ashes on the ground I remember a man in a blue suit and tie he held a deck of cards as he fell from the sky and in my dreams I see him again and again the airplanes flying and the falling man years after the planes and I'm still watching the sky while down on these city streets the crowd chases another day gone by and we move on to the next thing but the feelings they don't fade away they just hide in the shadows with the memories from that September day there's an empty space in the skyline and no words to be found there's an empty space too big to fill when they fell fell to the ground and I'm in the crosswalk listening to the thunder crashing down there's an empty space in the skyline and no words to be found no words to be found
